For those of you watching in black and white, Bath are in stripes (black and white, as it happens) and the Albion are in dark change colours. No sound.

Albion line-up:
Dave Hollins, Tommy Bisset, Doz Little, Jack Bertollini, Roy Jennings, Steve Burtenshaw, Mike Tiddy, Ian McNeill, Bill Curry, Adrian Thorne, Freddie Jones.

Mike Tiddy got the only goal - but the camera missed it! D'oh.

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

What a coup discovering that!

looked like a proper crowd too and in the days before elf & safety.

Was anyone here at that match?

I nealrly went but in the end I could not persuade the others. I won't spoil the score.

I wonder what colour our change kit was in those days. Any ideas?

Remember seeing it on tv in 1960
Pity the goal was missed - think it was a 25 yarder from Tiddy

Christ on a scooter! This is six years before I was born!

[Bill Cassidy's tie up]

I can remember going to Bath in I'm sure first round of FA cup. Lost 1-0 must of been around 1964

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Steve Burtenshaw, later to become a bit of a Arsenal stalwart.

We didn't play Bath City again (after 1960 ), until 1967 when we won 5 - 0 at Twerton Park in the 2nd Round.
